Ocean Emperor

Multiple Group Two winner Ocean Emperor is making good progress ahead of an overseas mission.
The son of Zabeel is on target for a crack at a Singapore Group One feature, the Kranji Mile (1600m) on May 26.
“It’s no mean feat that we got accepted, but he has beaten the best milers in this country – Kawi, Thee Auld Floozie and Miss Wilson and other Group Two winners like Coldplay,” part-owner and trainer Gary Hennessy said.
Ocean Emperor furthered his Singapore preparation on Tuesday at the Te Teko trials where he wasn’t pressured and coasted into fourth in his 1000m heat.
“It was a pleasing day out and Shaun (McKay) was very happy with him,” Hennessy said. “Everything is on target and he’s in pretty solid condition.”
